I'm a designer still trying to code up my first app in Google App Engine as an experiment.

I have got to the point where I want to set up memcache to cache my entire site following the instructions at: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/cache/#memcached

I am clear that I need to add in my settings.py the following:

CACHE_BACKEND = 'memcached://[IP ADDRESS]:[PORT]/'

And then:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.middleware.cache.UpdateCacheMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.cache.FetchFromCacheMiddleware',
)
CACHE_MIDDLEWARE_SECONDS=60*2

This might be a really dumb question but what would my IP address and port be for my google app engine site? Is there any considerations I need to make because of the fact that it is being hosted at Google?

How would I find it out

A: 

Try: CACHE_BACKEND = 'memcached://?timeout=0'.

Thanks. I think that did the trick.
